Slow down, you move too fast
Remember that song by Simon and Garfunkel? I think the OP has got it right. While it was already fitting back in the day, with the huge increase in traffic, cars that zip up to high speed with the touch of the pedal, and poor condition of the roads that can't handle all this traffic, we need to double down on driving safely and slowing down.
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I remember when truck drivers were the most courteous drivers on the road, and I remember the good old days when the speed limit was lowered to 55 on the highway and traffic fatalities plummeted.
Instead, today, in this time of irrationality and ignorance, speed limits have increased and road rage is on the rise.
Maybe, because there's not much we can do about the other guy, it's best to MYOB like one poster wrote. But to be safe, we need to watch out for the other guy.
